We have learned that heat of combustion increases as we increase the number of carbons in a structure. For noncyclic compounds with the same number of carbons, branching lowers the heat of combustion. For cyclic compounds with the same number of carbons, any type of strain increases the heat of combustion. Choose the compound with the highest heat of combustion: O methylcyclopentane O cyclohexane cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane cis-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclopropane

We have learned that heat of combustion increases as we increase the number of
carbons in a structure. For noncyclic compounds with the same number of carbons,
branching lowers the heat of combustion. For cyclic compounds with the same
number of carbons, any type of strain increases the heat of combustion. Choose
the compound with the highest heat of combustion:
methylcyclopentane
O cyclohexane
cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane
cis-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclopropane
